Admiral’s Old J Cherry Spiced Rum - 35 Percent ABV - 70cl Bottle

Product Information

Old J has been created in honour of this unlikely mixologist who was known as Old Grog. However, Old J brings Vernon´s concept into the 21st Century by using the finest Caribbean Rum combined with our secret blend of spices, sugar, vanilla and Persian lime. It took over sixty trials before the perfect harmony of ingredients was found, and Old J’s smooth and spicy flavour profile was born. It all started in 1740, when Admiral Edward Vernon enforced a reduction in the strength of the British Navy’s rum ration. When his men complained, Vernon suggested the addition of limes and sugar to make the drink more enjoyable.

Cherry Bounce is a homemade cherry liqueur with a rich history and a delicious flavor. It's made by infusing pie cherries with a choice of liquor such as bourbon, rum, brandy, or whiskey, along with sugar. The mixture is then left to sit and develop its flavor over time. The resulting liqueur has a deep, not overly sweet, and not overly boozy taste that reminds us of the deep Bourbon roots of our country's South.Dana Frank has authored books and numerous articles on the subject of food and drinks, with a focus on demystifying the world of gastronomy for everyday people.
